FRANCE5CO

I own a 5D III and I'm very frustrated with some limitation that could be easily fixed with a firmware upgrade. For example auto ISO!!!! I wont exposure compensation in manual mode with auto ISO and I want to be able to set shutter speed faster than 1/250 in Av!!! The cheapest Nikon can do that from years !!! Canon what are you waiting for?

The question is: is it possible to make a wish list in this forum for the next firmware upgrade? Maybe Canon engineers will read it and listen to users needs

The circle in the viewfinder that is basically the spot metering circle, it needs to be bolder or red. I loose it in the frame sometimes. And yes, I know it's always in the middle, but it's nice to be able to see it with ease. Like the scope of a gun.

Actually...I'll take spot linked metering...but I know that's reserved for 1D's, so

You mean with non-HS flash modes? If so, that's a hardware restriction...

Some more control over auto-ISO would be nice, but most of all I wish that they would include an intervalometer (like used to be included in the G-series, until marketing decreed that it should require the purchase of an ungainly and awkward external trigger...).

Overall though, I think the 5DIII firmware is pretty good - they removed a lot of idiotic restrictions on the 5DII (like bracketing options), and it is rare that I find myself needing something it does not do.

If the hardware will support it, I would be most pleased to have a 1200 fps (or faster) video capability, even if it necessitated as little as 320x240 resolution (if needed to reduce the readout/data move time).

Also fix the issue when you remove a memory card and put it back in that it switches to the other card even when camera power is off! I think they fixed this on the 1DX but the 5DIII was left in the dust....

^^ Agreed! Keep CF as main until you switch it. I would think the auto switch feature could wait til you try composing a shot to switch it to SD.
